Spiral Bevel Gears

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am attempting to make Beveled helical gears that interface along an angle much like the pictured set, but across a wider angle. What would be the best way to built these? I cannot seem to get any tool to do both the bevel and the helical spin, and was wondering if there is a better way to go about it. http://www.engineersgallery.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Spiral-Bevel-Gears.jpg

Are you using the Gear Generator?

Unfortunately I am using inventor 2012, so that option is not available, but I did get it working with the loft tool and revolution cuts.

Sure it is.

A set of gears is an assembly - so you must be in the assembly environment.
